Beautiful Bastard
What do you have when you take a middle-aged man down on his luck and the hit man he hired to kill himself (who may be more than what he seems)? Throw in a mysterious psychic, a crazy homeless man with the answers to life and the disappearing Purple Queen who has her feet planted on the ground and possibly someplace higher…. What you get is one wild, heartwarming tale!
At the center of Beautiful Bastard is Henry Rellim, bitter and caustic, a man who believes he has nothing to live for, but unwittingly searching for something more. His unwavering eye and ability to transmit truth and honesty, tinged with dark humor, is the breath behind this tale. Henry believes he is possibly living the last day of his life, wandering aimlessly through a city’s twisting streets, but what he discovers is inspiration, family secrets, purpose and the rest of his life.
Beautiful Bastard is rich with eclectic characters that share the human destiny of trying to make sense of the world. But how does one do this? In the middle of pain and sadness is there a greater truth? Henry Rellim discovers there is and you, the reader, will too!
Influenced by Lewis Carroll and the main character’s namesake, Henry Miller, two seemingly polar opposites, it is only through slipping into Beautiful Bastard’s magical world, one can see how delightfully Alice’s shifting Wonderland and Miller’s tough American streets combine.
